Movies

The little green guy with the penchant for Reese’s Pieces returns for the 20th anniversary of “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.” Steven Spielberg’s classic tale stars Henry Thomas, right, Drew Barrymore, Dee Wallace and Peter Coyote, and includes added footage, more than 100 updated effects shots and a digitally remixed soundtrack. Opens Friday.

Also: You’ve seen the behind-the-scenes shenanigans on HBO’s “Project Greenlight.” Now see the finished movie. “Stolen Summer,” Pete Jones’ coming-of-age drama set in 1976 Chicago, opens Friday.

Dance

Not many companies have changed the landscape as dramatically as Russia’s Moiseyev Dance Company, one of the pioneers of theatricalized folklore and still going strong after 65 years. The company first visited the U.S. 40 years ago, and such beloved distillations of Slavic traditional culture as Igor Moiseyev’s “Hopak,” “Old City Quadrille” and “Partisans” will again crown the program during its seven-performance engagement at the Wilshire Theatre in Beverly Hills starting Tuesday.

Theater

Bus travelers from Kansas City, circa 1954, stranded by a snowstorm at a small cafe include a pretty chanteuse named Cherie and her passionate and brash young suitor, rodeo star Bo, in William Inge’s poignant comedy of romantic and soulful awakenings, “Bus Stop.” Directed by A Noise Within resident artist Sabin Epstein, it opens Friday at the Glendale theater.

Pop Music

Norteno superstars Los Tigres Del Norte throw their considerable weight behind the campaign to legalize immigrant workers by headlining Saturday’s Baile de los Trabajadores at the Los Angeles Sports Arena. The concert, which has the support of labor and community groups and the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, also features Banda Machos, Ana Barbara y Su Grupo and comedian Julio Sabala.

Also: All the young dudes will be checking out the latest wave of British rock lapping at U.S. shores, including Starsailor at L.A.’s El Rey and Clinic at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, both Tuesday. Meanwhile, one of the sources of English rock, former Mott the Hoople leader Ian Hunter, plays an acoustic set Friday at Amoeba Music in Hollywood.

Jazz

Harmonica player-guitarist-composer Toots Thielemans and pianist Kenny Werner begin a week of performances at the Catalina Bar & Grill in Hollywood on Tuesday. That night across town, Stanley Jordan, whose style often sounds like two or three guitarists at once, opens a six-night run at the Jazz Bakery in Culver City.

Music

Concluding the Schoenberg Prism series, Los Angeles Philharmonic music director Esa-Pekka Salonen, left, leads works by Schoenberg and Mahler at the orchestra’s three concerts this week. “Verklarte Nacht” (Transfigured Night) and the cantata “Das Klagende Lied” (Song of Lamentation) make up the program.
